FP 51 Overview
The FP 51 is truly an evolution of the popular and highly successful Saba 50. The FP 51 sailing catamaran is the next evolutionary leap for Fountaine Pajot sailing catamarans bringing ergonomics and environment to cruising into the forefront more than ever.
Her new deck layout is a complete redesign moving the helm to a forward station on the saloon deck, not on the flybridge. This along with the openness of the floor between cockpit through saloon to the helm creates simplicity. The safety and comfort of this simple configuration creates a very large yacht that can be sailed single-handedly.
The exceptionally large array of solar panels produce 2000 watts of renewable energy, yet go unnoticed in the sleek design. The expanses designed to offer living and entertaining space also created ample area to place solar panels completely flush with the deck. But for FP, solar was not enough thus a hybrid engine is a possibility that will result in a sailing vessel that produces more energy than it consumes, the ultimate definition of sustainable.
A few highlights of the next evolution of FP catamarans include:
- a deck redesigned for comfort and plenty of space including opening the saloon to the cockpit making casual conversations easier, important communications safer, and use of the oversized cockpit table more enjoyable
- very sleek designs of the galley island and appliances taking this boat into the next decade
- solar panels everywhere without sacrificing design and enjoyment of the space by using flush panels following the vessel’s lines
- large variety of layouts, each featuring en suite baths in every cabin, even the charter version
